Flamengo once again had a big advantage in revenue from TV rights for the Brazilian Championship. Mengão received a total of R$275.2 million from Rede Globo for the 2023 edition, a value almost R$100 million above second place, Corinthians. In total, Globo paid R$2.1 billion to the clubs for broadcasting rights.
Flamengo's R$275.2 million collection includes: equal fixed share (R$31.9 million), prize for the fourth place in the Brazilian Championship (R$40.6 million) and amount per number of games broadcast on TV Globo and SporTV (R$25.4 million). In addition, Rubro-Negro received R$177.3 million as the minimum amount guaranteed by the pay per view contract. The information on the amount paid by Globo comes from journalist Allan Simon, from UOL.
Fla applies its PPV sales percentages to the value programmed at the time of signing the contracts, in 2016, which are adjusted for inflation . Corinthians, Grêmio and Palmeiras also have minimum guarantees in their contracts, but there are different clauses in each agreement. Alviverde, for example, receives a fixed quota of R$50 million per year.
Flamengo's values place it with an advantage of R$88 million over Corinthians, second in the ranking with 187.2 million. Grêmio completes the podium, with R$170.1 million, followed closely by Palmeiras (R$162.6 million). In other words, the teams with the minimum guaranteed PPV dominate the Brasileirão's TV direct values.
But it is important to highlight that all teams from the former Clube dos 13 were entitled to the guaranteed minimum. However, the other nine teams requested advance funds to enable the payment of debts and short-term investments, which generates the current difference.

Libra and LFF are approaching a union through the sale of TV rights
The 2024 Brasileirão is the last under the current television contract, and the year will mark a major change in the Brazilian football. After splitting into Libra and Liga Forte Futebol, groups negotiating the sale of rights, the clubs have come closer in recent weeks and are debating a single agreement with the 20 teams in Series A.
The LFF sent a document to the presidents of the Libra clubs, Flamengo's group, and requested a meeting. There is an understanding that the best financial agreement will only be possible with the presence of all teams in the negotiation, but the decision has not yet been taken.
With Flamengo leading the negotiations, Libra forwarded an agreement worth R$ 1.3 billion with TV Globo. However, the contract will have to be renegotiated from the beginning if the two blocs decide to join forces.
Mengão reached an agreement with Dynamo Moscow to sign the midfielder, but the Russian club did not send a document authorizing the official announcement.

Although he was the first signing by Flamengo in this transfer window, midfielder Jorge Carrascal was the last to show up in Rio de Janeiro . According to the 'GE' portal, the last document signed by the Russian club arrived at Flamengo late in the afternoon of this Friday (1st). With that, the official announcement of the player will be made in the coming days, after the conclusion of pending procedures with Atlético-MG.
The reason for the delay was that Dynamo Moscow, his former club, took too long to complete the necessary paperwork for the transfer . The Russian team only released the Colombian after signing Rubens from Atlético-MG as a replacement.
At Dynamo's request, Flamengo will participate in the payment to Atlético-MG for Rubens' acquisition. Thus, a significant portion of the €12 million (R$77 million) invested by Carrascal will go to the Minas Gerais club.
Despite being in Rio since Wednesday, Carrascal has not yet been regularized with the CBF, which prevents him from playing in the next matches — against Ceará, this Sunday (3), for the Brasileirão, and against Atlético-MG, Wednesday (7), for the second leg of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. The registration deadlines for both matches have already expired.
The Colombian's debut is scheduled for August 9th against Mirassol at Maracanã, in the final round of the first half of the Brazilian Championship . Having been training regularly and playing for Dinamo, Carrascal is expected to be available to Filipe Luís as soon as he is officially confirmed. He has already passed the medical exams but will only be able to train with the club after being registered.
Alvinegro still owed Mengão for the signing of Matheuzinho, but managed to deposit a huge amount to close the matter.

Flamengo received, this Friday (1st), another millionaire amount related to the sale of right-back Matheuzinho. Corinthians paid around R$ 14 million to Rubro-Negro , paying off the remaining amount of the negotiation made in February of this year.
At the time, the Rio de Janeiro club sold the player for R$21.48 million, but Corinthians delayed the third installment of the agreement. As a result, Flamengo demanded immediate payment of the entire outstanding amount . The information was initially reported by the portal Meu Timão.
To facilitate the payment, Corinthians signed an agreement with Brax, the company responsible for marketing advertising signs for both clubs. The company acted as guarantor for the deal and transferred the funds to Flamengo .
By August, Corinthians had already paid R$8 million directly to the Rio de Janeiro club. It then transferred R$7.58 million to Brax , which topped up the amount with another R$6 million , fully settling the debt with the club.
While the board celebrates receiving the amount, Flamengo remains focused on the field. The team led by Filipe Luís returns to play this Sunday (3), against Ceará, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Arena Castelão, for the 18th round of the Brasileirão. The match will be broadcast live on Premiere, on pay-per-view.
During the press conference to present Samuel Lino, the football director was direct when speaking to Mengão fans about the signings

Flamengo has already made four signings official this transfer window , but the delay in negotiations has drawn criticism from some fans . During striker Samuel Lino's presentation, football director José Boto spoke out on the matter and apologized to the Flamengo Nation.
“Sometimes things take a little longer than the fans want, and I apologize to the fans, but we ( Flamengo 's board) have fixed ideas, and as long as it's possible to have the players we want , we'll go after it,” explained Boto.
Brazilian football's second transfer window opened on July 10th, and Flamengo began the period cautiously, monitoring the market and evaluating options. As the weeks progressed, the board accelerated negotiations and secured four key signings : Saúl Ñíguez, Emerson Royal, Samuel Lino, and Jorge Carrascal.
Despite the names already confirmed, Flamengo remains attentive to the market. The club is in ongoing negotiations with Fiorentina, Italy, to sign striker Lucas Beltrán . Flamengo has already agreed on a fee with the Italian club, but still needs to convince the Argentine player to return to South America.
While the board works behind the scenes, the squad led by Filipe Luís focuses on the challenges on the field. Flamengo's next match is this Sunday (3), against Ceará , at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Castelão, for the 18th round of the Brazilian Championship.
